Missing IPv6 stats in bind9_rndc

Description

On dual stack systems, the plugin ignores requests placed over IPv6.

The attached patch retrieves both the IPv4 and IPv6 requests and adds them to the same counter.

I prefer this approach, rather than having two separate counters, because IPv6 traffic is still low and would barely appear in the graphs. When IPv6 will be more widely adopted, it may be useful to have separate counters.

This seems to be what the plugin already does? Both "IPv4 requests received" and "IPv6 requests received" match the current request counter regex: 

if ($msg =~ m/requests received$/io) {
  $IN{requests} = 0 unless $IN{requests};
  $IN{requests} += $n;
}

...and add them together in a single counter. Can you please double-check that it's not already doing what you want to do? :)

I agree that the plugin already sums IPv6 and IPv4 requests received in the same counter. I verified on my own dual-stack system running bind9_rndc and munin 1.4.6-1~bpo60+1.
